I think a lot of hobbies and activities are facing a declining crop of new enthusiasts. Industries, too. The art world is aging older as well.
Alex Olson from 2014:
"I was at Labor Skateshop right after I left 3D, and I asked the guy what boards sell best. He said Palace, Polar, and Welcome. I asked him why and he said something along the lines of, "A lot of these kids aren't at this ability where they can relate to the likes of Nyjah, so they relate to a Polar video way more." The type of skating associated with those companies is way more tangible for someone who just wants to skate. The skating in their videos could actually happen on a session with regular people."
What's the deal with Storied Skateboarding? They are going way too hard with the nostalgia thing for the old dudes.
I'm surprised how well Stereo II did in the 2008-2011 range with the skaters who were really into skateboarding. Rasa Libre had a niche, too. Each generation will pick up on something the older heads don't understand. This parallels record reissues. I hear so many people say album x needs to be reissued when it clearly doesn't.
I bet Girl thought they found the next Gino with Antonio. I remember thinking he was the most Transworld of skaters with his interview back in 2015. I don't think he ever had an ad for Girl.
